Average Joe

This is a reality show where a beautiful girl is given the task of choosing a bachelor from a pool of single guys to be her future companion in life. While much of Hollywood shows or movies matches young women with eligible bachelors who are jocks or athletes, this show tries to pit a girl with average-looking guys.

This show can be entertaining; seeing a girl really pour her heart out to get to know an average guy is pretty interesting to see, showing that beauty is sometimes not only skin deep. But, the plot turns when just as things are heating up between the girl and the average guys, the show throws in a group of jocks to compete for the girl's affection. I thought that was rather mean and redundant, since it takes away the main purpose of the show I thought. It just shows that the average joes really couldn't put a candle to the jocks. But, there are a few instances where there are some surprises, so, the show isn't all that bad.

Grade B-

Well, I guess I'm just happy that Larissa didn't end up with any of those so-called "Average Joes" because, quite frankly, they were all way too good for her. Maybe for the next series they could set her up with a cardboard cutout of David Hasselhoff or something. She'll probably find it attractive and they'll have about the same IQ. The perfect match! Seriously, though, those guys stepped off the bus and all I could think was that there was absolutely nothing wrong with them. Maybe they aren't movie stars but they're still pretty good-looking. It just goes to show how shallow and superficial the whole nature of the show is. Watch just one episode and you'll see that if these are examples of "Average Joes", then an Average Joe is my kind of guy. They're all smart, funny, charming men and they were set up with a girl who wasn't fit to lick their boots.

Whatever the message of this show was *meant* to be, all I got was that this is a sad, sad world if those guys are considered to be unattractive.

The show is absolute trash, but watch it if you feel like a good scare.

When I first saw promos about this show I thought to myself 'yeah another dumb reality show.' But these 'average' guy's have kinda won me over,and sure has Melina. These guy's though competetive at times,are truly some of the nicest guy's i've seen on T.V. And Melina,just seems to be like just a easy going,nice girl! I think that she was )if it's true that she didn't know about how they guy's looked) is a good sport for continuing on with the show.

'Average show' maybe but there could be a good message here,maybe it isn't about all looks,and I think Melina is trying hard to realize that herself.

This was when Reality TV was nascent and new and had fresh ideas before the total fakeness and Kardashian like gloss saturated and sickened the whole concept. If you want to see a awesome psychological experiment play out before you're very eyes this is the show for you!

I remember being younger and watching the show totally captivated by the premise; a very attractive woman is going on what she thinks is a bachelorette fantasy to pick the sooner of her dreams. Only to find out that she is presented with a bus full of very average to subpar looking physically men and her shell shock in that first episode is a sight to behold.

Sometimes you wonder if these reality TV shows are real or not, and set up in anyway. I'm the average bloke my self, and this show portrays everything how it is, Looks will always matter the most. Seriously, I'd my self not lie saying looks don't matter, it is the first thing that attracts you to someone, you might be walking down the street and you see a hot chick/guy, your not going to be thinking about personality.

The show was obviously edited to what they wanted to show you, sadly none of the Joes had a chance, even though the hot guys had 30 million std's and were only up to increasing their "chicks I've had sex with count". The Joes had hearts, and we saw them get ripped apart.

Personally it would have been great to see the Joe win, but I knew it was doubtful. Maybe they could have done "Average Kate" one hot spunk, and 20 average women, that could have been interesting, but would have failed because us guys try to go for physical looks also, ohh and we are horny as hell.

Average Joe will remain to be the most successful portray of modern age relationships.
